CELEBRATING food heritage

Heritage is not just about buildings and the natural environment, but culture too, including our food traditions. This recipe has been kindly provided by National Trust corporate partner Beerenberg Farm. The Beerenberg family has been farming at Hahndorf for six generations, diversifying into berry growing in 1969, when Grant and Carol Paech began selling their produce from a tin shed on the roadside.
